What?! The ARRL "will vote to do away with the code?" They're at it
again, are they? This is a tragedy!  Imagine that--abolishing morse
code. I'll certainly write to my ARRL Division Director about this.

Are they voting to do away with it on all the bands, or just HF? And,
what mode will be allowed in this spectrum formerly used by morse code?
Only digital?  God forbid, they won't let voice modes down there, will
they?

What if a bunch of us got together and started clicking our microphones
to make dots and dashes?  Do you suppose we could start an underground
movement to legalize morse code again?

73,
